Yonder Mountain String Band - Lord Only Knows Ukulele

 F                          F                         G                
Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down

    F                                F         G
I didn't like the odds that I would last that long

                   F               F         G
They turned their backs and I was gone gone gone

 F                       F                       G
Just turned 18 and I'm lookin at some real hard time

     F                   F            G
Now I'm seeing things in my rearview mirror

          F            G          F
Now it's just me and these white lines


CHORUS

  G                        F
Lord only knows where I'm goin

        G                       F
Can't remember the places I've been 

 G                    F       F    G                     F
Tell me if I'll ever make it home again    whoa-o  home again


Apart from these troubles mother's all I leave behind
Says I remind her of my father but hell if I know
He left town when I was 3 years old
She did the best she could I can't help but feel I'm doin her wrong
She'll be much better off now that I'm gone
I don't much feel like hangin around

Chorus 


 G                                        F
I can't believe how bright the stars are shinin'

      G                              F              F
And I can't recall the last time I looked into the sky

         G                            F               F
And it seems to me if I can make it cross the county line

   G                         F
Maybe my life will turn out fine

 F                           F                       G
Ten years in jail was the sentence that they handed down
